| Jay: | Good for you! I heard the last experience was not what you’d wished for. |
| Alex: | Yeah, I joined this street theatre company for a while, but the quality of their productions was not so great and I had to quit so I may live to fight another day. |
| Jay: | You know what they say, a stumble may prevent a fall. |
| Alex: | Yes, it’s true. Anyway, I wanted to ask you for a recommendation. |
| Jay: | Glad to give you one. Whom shall I address it to? |
| Alex: | Not sure yet. To whom it may concern. |
